it is practically a religion to them.

Everything they do and say, all their policies, all their self-serving, condescending, "I got mine, screw you" attiudes, are part and parcel of bullying.

repukes are the very definition of what a bully is.
# strong-arm: be bossy towards; "Her big brother always bullied her when she was young"
# a cruel and brutal fellow
# browbeat: discourage or frighten with threats or a domineering manner; intimidate
# a hired thug

Bullying is a form of abuse. It comprises repeated acts over time that involves a real or perceived imbalance of power with the more powerful individual or group abusing those who are less powerful.<2> The power imbalance may be social power and/or physical power. The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a target.

Bullying consists of three basic types of abuse – emotional, verbal and physical. It typically involves subtle methods of coercion such as psychological manipulation. Bullying can be defined in many different ways. Although the UK currently has no legal definition of bullying,<3> some US states have laws against it.<4>


With this going on all around us, there can be little surprise at the ongoing increase in bullying in every day life.

Isn't Lucy being a bully toward Charlie Brown?? Isn't this EXACTLY what the repukes do?
